MBTB SUPER HUGE Michigan Wine Month Giveaway: Day 4

Congratulations to SHERRI EDLER-ADCOCK! She was randomly selected from yesterday's entries to win a Mackinaw Trail Winery hoodie!

Happy Monday! To start off the week and celebrate Day 4 of our SUPER HUGE Michigan Wine Month Giveaway, we're giving out a gift certificate for a private tasting with a mini "Elements of Tasting" class for six people, courtesy of Pentamere Winery in Tecumseh! The "Elements" class will teach participants basic techniques for evaluating wines and how they're affected when paired with different foods.

How to win: Visit our Facebook page, "like" us, then respond to the OFFICIAL post for Giveaway Day 4 with today's passphrase: "My favorite Great Lake is ______" and your answer. It's a stretch, but since Pentamere means "five seas," alluding to the Great Lakes, we thought we'd make the passphrase du jour somewhat relevant. (We can't stress enough: You must post the passphrase under the MBTB posting marked OFFICIAL POST FOR GIVEAWAY DAY 4 for it to be counted. If you just post to the wall in general, it won't be entered. You may have to scroll down; depending on the number of other posts that day, you may also have to hit "View older posts.") Each person can enter only once. We'll assign the posts numbers and use a random number generator to determine the winner, with the lucky recipient announced tomorrow morning ... along with the prize up for grabs tomorrow!

The deadline for entering to win today's prize is 11:59 p.m. today (April 4, 2011). So hurry over and post!

NOTE: You must be at least 21 years old to win this prize.

About today's sponsor: Today's prize is provided courtesy of Pentamere Winery. Dubbing itself Southeast Michigan's "first urban winery," Pentamere is situated in the heart of historic downtown Tecumseh. The tasting room offers guests complementary wine tasting and a peek at our production facilities. Built in the 1880’s and restored to its original charm, the building has had many reincarnations, including dry grocer, clothing shop, Larry’s Diner and Mexican restaurant. As a boutique winery, Pentamere typically produces batches of a few hundred gallons and releases new wines on a regular basis. Its offerings include dry, semi-dry, medium-sweet and sweet wines, along with dessert and spiced wines and wine jelly.
